We spent a night at the Mercure Gerringong Resort on the south coast, which Craig and Andria had given to Lynn for her 70th birthday (just the night, not the whole resort). The next night we stayed down at Batemans Bay then came home via Braidwood and Goulburn.
A week prior to that we spent a night at Mittagong on the Southern Tablelands and have include the photos from that trip here as well.
Thank you Craig and Andria (and girls)
